Do you want to know how should you go about becoming a Buddhist?
One thing which you do have to do to become Zen is to meditate. When you meditate regularly you will have a Zen mindset. The meditative Zen mindset follows you wherever you go. To demystify this "meditative Zen mindset" we can simply say that you will be relaxed and peaceful at all times. That's it. When you are calm, relaxed and peaceful you will improve and evolve naturally. This is why meditation is important. More details on meditation will be given later in this book. Like Zen the essence of meditation has become somewhat lost and mystified, when it is again very simple. The most important thing to remember is that Zen is easy, available to everyone and is a guaranteed modality of self-development. I will explain why this is so later on in the book.
Because of its emphasis on always returning to the touchstone of meditation to verify the worth of a practice-Buddhism has high appeal for independent thinkers. The American Transcendentalists, such as Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson, owe a great deal to Buddhism as part of their way of thinking and writing. It was taken up by the Theosophists, Beatniks and the Hippies, but it transcended all three as the main stream of Buddhism continued to spread as families who had practiced Buddhism for generations joined populations who were newly converted to their idea of Buddhism.
